TRIGGER WARNING
RAQUEL'S P.O.V
Last time you saw me, I was at the police station, now I'm on a plane (against my will) going to Italy to see my so called "family" for the first time.
I'm so tempted to jump out this plane right now.
Not only do I have to meet my "family", now I have to worry about Jose knowing my whereabouts.
Jose Sanchez, the leader of the Mexican Cartel and the person who has managed to ruin my entire life.
He would even goes as far as to kill his own mother, just to have me in his clutches again. I barely sleep nowadays, even two years after, I still have nightmares about what he did to me.
The only way to stop them is by taking sleeping pills, however at one point I became addicted, I couldn't function without them. It was to the point they didn't even work that well anymore.
Eventually Linda found out about my addiction and made me stop taking them. I never told her about the abuse, so I lied that I had insomnia.
I still have all the scars on my body as a constant reminder of my torture. The bruises that Jose have caused, became worse as I started doing underground fights. That's why I never wear revealing clothing in fear of someone questioning my scars and bruises. If I do I have to use concealer to hide them.
I hate looking at my bruises and scars, let alone letting someone else looking at them and judge me.

The plane had just landed about 20 minutes ago, I picked up my bags and now I'm heading towards the exit.
"Oh shit!" My eyes widen as I realised that I had forgotten to ask Cindy who was going pick me up.
"Now I need to call her." I huffed in annoyance as I pull out my phone and call her.
"Hi Cindy."
"Hello Raquel, is everything ok?." She asks in her usual chirpy voice. How can someone be that happy all the time?
"I forgot to ask you who is picking me up."
"Oh yes, your brother Seth is picking you up. He also was asking for you, he is right in front of the airport first car you see."
"Thanks Cindy."
"You're welcome, good luck with your family." She says before ending the phone call.
I follow Cindy's instructions and went outside.
I walk up to the first car and knock on the window. It rolls down to reveal a man who looks like he's in his early 20s, with curly black hair and cute glasses.
He looks up from his phone, he notices me staring at him and then says "Get in." Before looking down at his phone.
Loving the welcome wagon.
The car ride was very quiet, neither one of us knew how to start a conversation. Like what are we going to talk about? Oh, hi how's life? Alright I'm just your long lost sister no big deal at all.
As he was driving, I look out of the tinted windows, the houses here look really big and expensive. It looks like something out of keeping up with the Kardashians. The exact opposite of where I lived before, I'm used to crack houses and decaying houses.
While I was gazing out of the window, I felt like was being observed. I look to see Seth watching me through the overhead mirror, once our eyes connected he instantly looked away and focused back on to the road.
Okay... not weird, at all.

We pulled up the the biggest house I've ever seen in my life. The only strange thing was that there was a lot of security surrounding the house.
I got out the car, and I have to say this guy is a FUCKING GIANT
I'm 5'7 and he's like 6'5.
He took notice at me comparing size and just laughed at me and walked into the house.
As my "brother" and I walked in, I was in awe, this house is FUCKING AMAZING.
He noticed my reaction and he just smiled at me. "Let me take you to your room." He says as he ushers me to follow him.
I followed him up the stairs and walked down a long corridor, it had multiple doors I started to wonder how many people I was going to I live with.
We eventually reach my door.
He opened it and let me step in and let me just say I am impressed
"I know it might be a little basic, but we didn't know what colours you like or how you want your room to be so after you've settled in, we can redecorate." He says nervously while rubbing the back of his neck.
" NO!" I blurt out in excitement. It's just a bedroom I don't know why I'm getting so excited.
"I mean, it's perfect thank you" I smile at him, I might not like the concept of a new family but I'm still appreciative.
"You're welcome, I will leave you to it, if you need anything I will be fourth door on the left. I'll call you when dinner is ready."
As soon as we walks out. I through myself on my new bed, I never want to leave this bed.
That lasted 10 minutes until my best friend Dennis calls me.
"Hey Denni." I greet him, I can already imagine the dirtiest look he would give me.
"I told you not to call me that." He groans, but I know deep down he loves the nickname.
"Just because you tell me to stop doesn't mean I'm going to." I laugh at him which makes him sigh in frustration.
"You're the most annoying cunt ever." He chuckles to himself.
"Back at you, you wanker." I giggle at him, he kisses his teeth at me.
"Anyways where are you, I went by your place and no one's there?"
Oh shit I forgot to tell anyone that I left America.
"Well, long story..."
So I explained to Dennis what has happened for the past two days.
"Are you ok? Have they hurt you? Do I need to rescue you? Who's arse do I need to kick?" He panics.
"Calm down, I'm alright, plus you can't beat anyone's ass, don't you remember when you tried to steal that 7 year olds lollypop and she kicked you in the dick and you thought your dick fell off."
"I thought we weren't going to speak on that again."
Then I heard a knock on the door I yell "Come in!" and the guy that drove me walked in.
"Hey, we're have dinner in 20 minutes so get dressed then come downstairs." I nodded at him as he walks out.
"Who was that?" Dennis asks.
"That was one of my fabulous brothers, anyways I need to go so I'll call you back. Also can you do me a favour and look for any fight clubs in Italy?"
"Alright, I'll have a look around. I'll talk to you later."
I quickly ended the call and went to the bathroom to have a shower.
It then hits me, I'm going to meet my new family and I'm absolutely shitting myself.
The first brother seems... nice though, maybe everyone else is. But what happens if they might be as abusive as Jose?
4 years ago
I was asleep in my dirty steel cell. Then I feel something extremely cold being poured on me.
I wake up to myself completely drenched in ice cold water.
I look up to see one of my tormentors towering over me, with a malicious smirk on his face.
One of Jose's guards goes by Polo, he's even worse than Jose.
He grabs me by my dirty curls and drags me out of the cell.
I'm screaming and crying for him to let go, but he doesn't care he tugs even harder.
I kick and scream but nothing works.
He pulls me up off the floor, in front of him and punches my face making fall on the floor. He then kicks me multiple times in my stomach and ribs.
I begged him to stop but the more I begged the more force he used.
He then straddles on top of me and continuously punch my face until it was busted open and blood was all over my face and his knuckles.
"Look at the slut now, so defencelessness and so helpless." He taunts me with a devilish smirk.
"Why don't I have a little bit of fun before Jose gets his turn." He says with lust in his eyes, I already knew what he meant.
"Please don't do this, please..." I cried.
"I love it when you beg." He moans to himself while pulling down my dirty shorts, his face changes into anger.
"Who are you wearing this sexy underwear for? Have you been whoring around?" He smears in disgust.
He then removes my underwear and starts to feel up my breasts.
He leans down to my ear and whispers "If you relax you might actually enjoy this."
The last thing he says before he starts to force himself on me.
